medicine | inhibition of cathepsins B and L may provide a unique mechanism for selectively inducing death of neuroblastoma with limited toxicity to normal cells and tissues | Homo sapiens |
Inhibitors | Comment | Organism | Structure |
---|---|---|---|
Fmoc-Tyr-Ala-CHN2 | FYAD, an irreversible inhibitor of cathepsin B, induces apoptosis of neuroblastoma cells but not of other tumor cells. Inhibitors that affect only one enzyme or fail to maintain inhibition of both cathepsins B and L do not induce apoptosis of these cells, overview | Homo sapiens | |
additional information | 95-100% enzyme inhibition is required to cause neuroblastoma cell death | Homo sapiens | |
Z-Phe-Gly-NHO-Bz | an inhibitor of both cathepsins B and L, causes death of many cell types | Homo sapiens |

malfunction | inhibition of cathepsin B impairs lysosomal proteolysis. FYAD, an irreversible inhibitor of cathepsin B, induces apoptosis of neuroblastoma cells but not of other tumor cells. Inhibition of cathepsin D does not rescue cells from FYAD-induced death | Homo sapiens |
